It’s tempting to overlook this tiny bistro in the ever- expanding Buena Vista /Mandolin neighborhood just north of the Design District, but, you just might be missing the best panini in Miami. All the paninis are served on fresh ciabatta. While the cooking isn’t tricky, you can enjoy a frothy smoothy, a 3 bean salad and a pesto, goat cheese and juicy chunks of chicken panini, in this cozy, hole in a wall, sidewalk café.

The two accommodating, female, chef/owners draw from their Argentine and Moroccan heritage. The décor is strictly Bohemian and friendly. There’s free wireless internet and diners are encouraged to slow down, bring a book or check your Facebook page. There’s a daily special on a blackboard and the portions are generous.
